"Why are you so socialist?" Because I care about people other than myself.

Yes, Karl Marx wrote:

"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."

"To be able forcefully and threateningly to oppose this party [bourgeois], the workers must be armed and organized."

I could understand if it smelled like swamp-ass (sweat) from sitting there too long, especially in a chair made of faux leather, but it shouldn't smell like poop.

I don't think people understand just how much power it would've consumed. 600MW is about the equivalent of 180,000 homes. It would also use massive amounts of water. In the desert. In Arizona. These things should not exist anywhere, but especially in places with very limited water.

I don't understand why she would share this.

Clown shoes and a clown show. They are not "just doing their jobs." They are bad people who sign up to do this shit. Fuck ICE. Every last one of them. I wish there was a hell with a special place for every one of them. They are not law enforcement. These are not laws that they enforce. It state sanctioned terrorism.

Not everything requires a response and at some point you have to pick your battles. They have revealed to you that they are an idiot. It is not your job to fix them.

Well, that's just water under the fridge.

While I get what you're saying, it is technically legal in the United States under an exception in the 13th amendment as punishment for a crime.

It has never been about who will win. It has always been about doing what is right. I will continue to support Ukraine regardless of their ability to "win."

I have a confession. When these people say something is "woke," it makes me want to check it out as it might be a piece of art that has things I care about, like inclusion and fairness. I keep a list of "woke" games bookmarked so I can learn about new games that normally wouldn't be on my radar to checkout. They think everything is "woke." It hasn't been updated since March, but it still has a lot of content on it.

Here is the list:

And the publisher will state something like "industry standard" or something like that which really means "we charge $80 because other people charge $80." In reality, they no longer have to worry about printing games (so that cost is gone) and no longer have to compete for shelf space, there is infinite supply (digital games), the cost of technology decreases over time, and the increase acceptance of DLC and digital marketplaces. The increase of prices only benefits overall profits and is anti-consumer. The consumer does not see a decrease in prices when they fire thousands of people or other expenses are cut. Instead they just raise the price. 100% greed.

Welcome to the GNU/Linux family! Your desktop setup is lovely! I highly approve of the use of Librewolf. Pop_OS! is a great choice choice for a new GNU/Linux user. As for your system feeling slower, you might be missing something. Can you share some of the basic specs, like cpu/ram and/or brand/model of the laptop? What feels slow, the internet or the actual loading/power of the system?

Also, incase you're wondering, Richard Stallman uses Trisquel GNU/Linux.

I have a relative who has kids (I'm in the US) and he and their mother have both said they fear having their kids come out as gay. They push gender stereotypes hard on the kids. When my wife and I are around the children, we promote anti-gendered stereotypes when we can. It broke my heart when the little girl said "girls don't do archery, girls do cheerleading" during a conversation with her about what sports she is interested in. Those kids are going to need therapy. Let them be what they want to be.

This is just a reminder that the current proposed budget cuts NASA's budget (again) by 23%.

Odysee is a nonstarter for me with its lack of moderation, resulting in a lot of right-wing hate filled garbage. Also, their thing with using some virtual currency and paying creators is weird. I want no part of cryptocurrency or "space dollars" or whatever they want to call it. PeerTube is ideal but not enough people are posting to it, which is frustrating. Youtube frontends, like invidious, are our best solution until creators move to something else.

I felt this way with Baldur's Gate 3.

I'm sorry you had that experience. Discord moderating is all over the place in most Discords, it can be hard to find a decent one. I received a warning recently for sharing a link that had a curse word in the URL with a very popular Linux Discord where I see double standards as well. I joined the Lutris Discord server awhile back but never found good conversation so I just ignore it at this point. Their logo is ironic considering your experience.

BTW, you are not a nutcase and do not deserve to be banned for calling them out.
